interests and concerns of 26,000 licensed physicians and 1,800 full-time Hispanic
medical faculty dedicated to teaching medical and health services research. As a
rapidly growing national resource based in the nation's capital, NHMA provides
policymakers and health care providers with expert information and support in
strengthening health service delivery to Hispanic communities across the nation.
During its first years of operation, NHMA held strategic planning meetings
with physicians in five regions of the country, identifying the most critical issues they face and
taking steps to define a blueprint of future activities in the following areas: delivery system,
medical education, research, policy, and communications.
